Detective Frank Malloy has vowed never to involve midwife
Sarah Brandt in another murder investigation. His
determination lasts only until he is called to the scene
of a suicide and finds the dead man’s wife is in labor.
By the time Sarah delivers the baby, Frank has discovered
that Dr. Blackwell’s death was actually a murder. Once
more the two of them are working together to find a
killer.
Because Dr. Blackwell practiced an unusual type
of “healing” and was less than honest with his friends,
many people may have wanted him dead. The suspects include
his wealthy father-in-law, his assistant, a slew of
jealous husbands whose wives Dr. Blackwell has treated,
and a mysterious man from Mrs. Blackwell’s past. Then the
Blackwell’s new baby falls ill, and Sarah uncovers a
shocking family secret that leads Malloy’s investigation
down a gilded path paved with greed, deception and desire.
